Take stock of where you’re at. The most powerful tool you have is positive intention.
Give your dog a haircut. By nature, dog hair is designed to shed water. Long hair, thick hair, and double coats can work against getting the saturation required to flood Mite Avenge deep below skin level where we want it. Treatments are more effective (and skin health is improved) with a new ‘do.
Go shopping. This is optional but it will help you get the most out of your Mite Avenge treatment.
How long does it take to treat? We cannot tell you how long this will take as treatment durations vary depending on a number of things, many of which we cannot measure.
Your dog’s situation is not exactly like any other dog’s. Some of the factors at play are age, the severity of infection, how long the mites have raged, the degree of follicle impaction, how deep the mites have managed to burrow, the overall condition of the dog & whether there are other health issues, and most importantly — the current state of the immune system.
We can tell you that on average it takes 12-16 treatments to kill off the overpopulation of egg-laying adults. Some dogs take less, some more.
When to stop. Your sign that the mites are under control include:
The most important thing to remember is there’s more to beating this disease than killing mites. Even though it’s a problematic miserable condition, Demodectic mange is a symptom of something you can’t see. The bottom line is your dog has an internal immune problem.
You can’t cut the legs out from under the disease by treating only the symptoms. Your dog’s recovery odds and speed are directly affected by how you tackle the root problem with aggressive immune work.
Short haired dogs under 30 pounds may not require a full 24 oz. of Mite Avenge for a successful treatment. Mix a full bottle of concentrate as directed. Place the dog in a closed container (as explained in the enclosed treatment instructions) and apply mixed solution liberally. Use enough solution to thoroughly drench the coat down to skin level then set the applicator bottle aside and continue treatment as instructed. To avoid product degradation, proper storage of remaining activated Mite Avenge is critical.
